This song was part of the GNR Trilogy. It started with "Don't Cry" the next was "November Rain" followed up by this song "Estranged" it's a story. And this was the Masterpiece.
@@Tommysimonsen I just explained to you that the person you replied to was talking about what he thinks the reactors should do rather than what the reactors didn't do. You asked me how would that work, but that question should be directed to him since he was the one who made the suggestion. Plus, it won't be the first time that they've re-reacted to the same music video (ex: We Are the World). They even talk about Amber not having seen November Rain yet. Chill enough for you?
The delivery of the lyrics "When I find out all the reasons, Maybe I'll find another way, Find another day, With all the changing seasons of my life, Maybe I'll get it right next time" send chills down my spine every single time.
This and the next verse always stood out to me. Blue collar machinist who became pretty successful. got married , bought a house, 2yrs later in 2010 the bubble burst. We all went into debt keeping the doors open. The plan was for myself and the #2 guy to buy the shop. after 2 long years we came to the conclusion we couldn't. Now 8yrs later I'm still successful compared to many people I know. But I don't have that spark, my head isn't held high, i'm not really proud of of being a cog in someone else wheel...This second verse hits me hard.....
Estranged is my favorite narrative epic from GNR. It is so underrated and I am grateful you reacted to it. There is no resolution. Time and time again even the song structure focuses on the struggle and that is what being estranged is all about. Never getting an closer, never getting any resolution. It is just such a perfectly articulate song about the subject matter.
@@tristramcoffin926 understood, and I respect that. do you not prefer any of the songs I mentioned to this one? your post was articulate and enlightening imo.
To me, this is their absolute best. The whole band is just killing it in all the passages of the song, which perfectly tells the message it wants to get across, not only in the lyrics, but with every instrumental change as well. Masterpiece! Thanks for doing this! ❤
I think this is their greatest song. I was age 17 when Appetite was released and 21 when Illusions 1&2 were released. GnR were such an important part of my youth. They were the greatest band on earth. Part of me is happy they didn’t continue with that dominance. I liken them to The Doors. In very short time, they made such a massive impact. They will always be one of the all time greats to me.
I was 16 when the Illusions released(and didn't know them prior to that bc rock music was pretty new to me) and loved them so much! Was my first band T-shirt I ever bought and wore that thing almost every day with lots of pride! Yeah, massively important for me as an evolving teenager. And still fantastic today! So much better than today's mainstream "music". Although my absolute favourite song is not this, but Civil War. But this is also a masterpiece.
@@123Tarl They do have countless great songs, but Don't Cry, November Rain and Estranged are part of an intentional trilogy of music produced by GnR based on the short story "Without You" by Del James (which also has loose ties to Axl's only real life). These songs are meant to be taken in that context. They have the same director and have musical tie in such as drum fills and certain chord progressions. Summary: Don't Cry talks about the problems in their relationship (and others in the band). November Rain moves back in time and shows the wedding which takes place before Don't Cry. Then it flashed forward and shows his wife's death. Estranged is how he deals with it. Either you let life bring you down and succumb to the sorrow or you fight back and take control of your own life.
Out of the GnR trilogy this was always my favorite and a lot of people forget about it in lieu of 'November Rain' and 'Don't Cry' but, damn, this one is just brutally beautiful. Loved it from the second I heard it.
One of their best songs if not the best. This song, musically, is an absolute masterpiece. There is so much going on. They even talk about how difficult this song is to play live. Nothing but talent on every instrument not to mention the vocals and writing.
I remember my boyfriend in 1987 introducing me to GNR before anyone had really heard of them. I've always been a fan, and always will be. We would blare Appetite For Destruction while we would close up at McDonald's and just scream every song.
I once read Axl Rose has the widest vocal range of any singer. I like his reserved storytelling on this one. Love how they let the song breathe. Nothing wrong with taking your time when music is this good.
The Use Your Illusion albums (and the videos from them) were freakin' masterpieces from start to finish and this is one of the shining examples of why. I listened to this song about a million times when I was 13, way too young to understand the lyrics. Now that I'm an adult it hits so much harder and is still relatable.
Right Jay,....get Amber to listen and react to November Rain!! btw,,,,MANY great songs on their 1st album that will blow y'alls mind. Rocket Queen, Mr. Brownstone, My Michelle, Night Train, just to name a few. Their 1st album is the best selling debut album of all time--and for good reason.
For those that don't know what this artistic trilogy means, let me try my best to explain (read until the end): Don't Cry, November Rain & Estranged are part of an intentional trilogy of music produced by GnR. They are based on a short story called "Without You" by Del James (which also has loose ties to Axl's own real life). At the very end of Estranged, the lyrics "Without You" are actually specifically mentioned. These songs are meant to be taken in that specific context. They have the same director for the videos and have musical tie ins such as drum fill ins and certain chord progression culminations. Summary: Don't Cry talks about the problems in their relationship (and others in the band). Think of it as starting like Star Wars Episode IV A New Hope... Lucas started in the middle of the story instead of with Episode 1. November Rain moves back in time and shows the wedding which takes place before Don't Cry. Then it flashed forward and shows his wife's death. So this is akin to the Star Wars Prequels and then flashes forward to the beginning of last Star Wars trilogy. Estranged is how he deals with all of the emotions. Either you let life bring you down and succumb to the sorrow or you fight back and take control of your own life. This would be akin Star Wars Episode 9. It's a masterpiece and Axl is a musical genius. Axl has a higher octave range than virtually every singer you've ever heard of from Mariah Carey to Freddie Mercury. Super talented individual. Cheers!
To this day GnR is one of my fave bands of all time- I got to see them live a few years back during their reunion tour with my husband- seeing Slash do his solo on top of Axl’s piano during November Rain (my actual fave song) brought me to tears.
While we're in the early 90s, has Rob Squad heard the world-wide mega-smash December by Collective Soul? Pepper by Butthole Surfers? I can't afford to request.
I think this is Slash's most accomplished song technically. If you were to isolate his playing in the first section you'd hear that when the music goes quieter Slash is using controlled feedback from between his guitar and amp to create long undulating notes. It's a highly effective way to still have the guitar present in the quiet moments but without it overwhelming the vocals. Later in the song, when the dolphins turn up on the video, Slash uses volume swells to create sounds like whale song on his guitar. Slash's guitar parts on this song range from very intricate solos to these very delicate playing techniques and they prove he's more than a brash riff peddler. In fact, Axl specifically thanks Slash for his contributions on this song in the album's sleeve notes.
‘Thanks for the killer melodies Slash’ (from memoria, I bought that double that double album as a cassette tape in 1992 same as UYI1😬). I remember how I always hoped the inlay cards would actually contain messages and lyrics rather than just credits say😆).
Highest selling Debut Album of all time, That same Album one of thr best albums of all time. Killed off Hair metal Ruled the world as the biggest band for 7 years One of the greatest Front men of all time, and great vocals Coolest Guitar player ever But one thing thats not thought about is there Music Video package Is easily the greatest of all time. More Guns please
guys time to try slash's solo project --- Slash featuring Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators- start with Anastasia. You will open up a whole new world you are so far missing out on, You do not need to limit yourselves to just GNR, even though they are great no doubt
I consider this more of a masterpiece than November Rain as it's a heavy piano based song for which Slash had to write a guitar track to go with it which was absolute killer and Axl gave Slash huge credit for doing so. For an even better song of theirs which is in my opinion their best and very underrated is a song called Coma which is their longest ever at over ten minutes. There is no video for this song but there are ones with lyrics which are deep as the song is based on a true event from Axl's life. It is EPIC.
You picked a great one. GnR is phenomenal and "Estranged" is from the Use Your Illusion II album. GnR released two albums at the same time back in 1991 to huge fanfare. The anticipation of these albums was crazy. Check out "You Could Be Mine (from Terminator soundtrack)"
I knew the song long before I watched the video. That video is cool and has a ton of cool footage, but I feel the cry and emotion in that song, and will always love it. It's also a fantastic piece of music, beautifully arranged.
"with all the changing seasons of my life, maybe I'll get it right next time" "now that you've been broken down, got you're head out of the clouds ,back down on the ground, you don't walk so proud, you don't talk so proud any more!!!!" Those words cut me so hard because they are a reflection of me!
I've been requesting this song for so long. It's my all-time favorite song. I'm so glad to see you finally got around to checking it out. I knew neither of you would be disappointed! Thank you!
I was 14/15 when this came out. My older brother got me into GnR. I was stealing a lot of cassettes back then, but I purchased both Use Your Illusion albums day one. This song resonated with me back then. As I got older, the lyrics started taking a grip of me. Now as I just turned 48, this song is an emotional roller-coaster of where I've been and where I'm at now.
Songs like this are just an enigma to me. Anyone can write a song, but 'songs' like this are just so much more. I can't comprehend how it's possible that a few guys can be in a room and create something like this. It's just off the scale.
This is GnR at their absolute best. Something isnt right with Axl here and he absolutely delivers. Thanks for checking out this song. You two are fun to watch and listen to!
Slash went on record saying this was the song that was the hardest for him to do live, just because of all the little nuances in the solos; ghost notes, feedback, feeling… all of it was so particular on tape that it was near impossible to replicate on a stage every night.
YEAAAA , SHE REALLY NEEDS TO CHECK OUT NOVEMBER RAIN. Side note: My middle and high school friend from Da Bronx is one of the back up singers in november rain. . You recently saw her in the Cinderella vid for Shelter me as well..Her name is Roberta
What a stunning song from the Illusions twin album set with 30 tracks between the 2 double album sets …. This is from the second half in blue. It’s a killer pair of albums but you will see there are a few tracks that could be missed or released on the B-sides…. Pretty Tied Up, You Could Be Mine which is used in the Terminator2 movie. Excellent album and powerful too !!!!
I've seen this video so many times as a teenage. But watching yall watching it for the first time has me feel the same way i did first time watching it.I'm a big GnR fan.
@D Tran they were broken up for many years and only a few albums. Axl then continued GNR with a completely different band lineup. For me those years it's no longer GNR to me. They've gotten back together briefly but overall short-lived compared to many others that have been together for decades.
Guys, remember EXTREME? They had that song "More than Words"? They have a new album out. The guitar is on fire. Check out "Rise", "Banshee" or "Rebel".
Wow, I really do love all of y'alls reactions but especially your Guns N' Roses reactions!! Guns N' Roses has always been my all time favorite rock band!!!! I would love to see your reaction to the first song of the GNR Trilogy "Don't Cry"
Just imagine seeing GnR on the Illusions tour in 91. With Soundgarden opening! Yup. I was there at MSG. Amazing how Illusions I, & Illusions II were oth fantastic, but SOOO different at the same time.
This song, THIS SONG... so no nobody ever told me baby, how it was gonna be... Favorite of all time. Lucky you, who get to hear this masterpiece for the first time. I got a drums set just to learn this one. I've scrapped about 7 copies of UYI-2 CD's for listening to it about 10 000 times(for each CD). Great to watch your face's reaction to this. And love your Pink Floyd t-shirt too. Welcome Floydian.
This is easily one of the greatest songs ever written and produced.
One of the greatest songs ever written..
For me too. Awesome.
Agreed 💯
This song was part of the GNR Trilogy. It started with "Don't Cry" the next was "November Rain" followed up by this song "Estranged" it's a story. And this was the Masterpiece.
Yes, they should react to the trilogy all in that order, back to back without so much time in between them.
@@Tommysimonsen He said "should react", not "should have reacted".
@@Tommysimonsen Not my idea.
@@Tommysimonsen Chill.
@@Tommysimonsen I just explained to you that the person you replied to was talking about what he thinks the reactors should do rather than what the reactors didn't do.

This song is so terribly underrated, it's downright criminal.💯 It doesn't get anywhere near the recognition it deserves.🙁
When Axl sings the bridge "I'll never find anyone to replace you..." it got to me 32 yrs ago and still does..
Same here.
Awesome.
Couldn't agree more..they really were at the top of their game on this absolute masterpiece
Broooooo me too
Here I am
The delivery of the lyrics "When I find out all the reasons, Maybe I'll find another way, Find another day, With all the changing seasons of my life, Maybe I'll get it right next time" send chills down my spine every single time.

Brings me to tears every time. This is my funeral song 😢
This song is a complete MASTERPIECE! From the lyrics, vocal, instrumental to the videoclip!
That's one of the best songs in the history of music!
definetly !
100%
Facts my favorite G N' R SONG from my favorite band ever
We didn't just have music videos in the 90's, we had epics.
Estranged is my favorite narrative epic from GNR. It is so underrated and I am grateful you reacted to it. There is no resolution. Time and time again even the song structure focuses on the struggle and that is what being estranged is all about. Never getting an closer, never getting any resolution. It is just such a perfectly articulate song about the subject matter.
I meant 'any closure', not 'an closer'. Also, articulated, not articulate. Sorry for the typos, guys.
favorite narrative epic? it's an ok tune i guess. Don't we prefer Pretty Tied Up, 14 Years, Civil War, I think I do.
@@shack8110 You will notice my comment details what I prefer, not what 'we' prefer.
@@tristramcoffin926 understood, and I respect that. do you not prefer any of the songs I mentioned to this one? your post was articulate and enlightening imo.
estranged isn’t underated.its always on everyone’s top 5 GNR songs
To me, this is their absolute best. The whole band is just killing it in all the passages of the song, which perfectly tells the message it wants to get across, not only in the lyrics, but with every instrumental change as well. Masterpiece! Thanks for doing this! ❤
It s an amizing song and one of my favourite song of any band❤️
This one is a masterpiece. The entire song is amazing but the guitar in this just reaches right down into the core of my soul.
1st time seeing this video when i was 6th grade . 1993 i think, and still Epic in 2024. omg cant believe this

I was 15 and still Love it
You’ve now completed the GNR trilogy. I personally love this one.
GNR has many more songs that were great ...not just a trilogy
@@123Tarl They do have countless great songs, but Don't Cry, November Rain and Estranged are part of an intentional trilogy of music produced by GnR based on the short story "Without You" by Del James (which also has loose ties to Axl's only real life).

What's the trilogy ??? November Rain, Sweet Child of mine and this one?
I can tell from these replies which people did not watch the videos in 1991-1992.
Out of the GnR trilogy this was always my favorite and a lot of people forget about it in lieu of 'November Rain' and 'Don't Cry' but, damn, this one is just brutally beautiful. Loved it from the second I heard it.
While we're in the early 90s, has Rob Squad heard the world-wide mega-smash December by Collective Soul? Pepper by Butthole Surfers?
The looks on your faces when Slash breaks the surface of the ocean with the guitar just slayin. Priceless.
This is my favorite song from Guns and Roses, Axel’s voice in this song gives me chills, fantastic instrumental to go with it.
axl
We've never seen anything better than Prime Axl Rose. And we proberbly never will.
Just Unreal.
No frontman comes close to Axl Rose 1987-1993.
i love the guitar play, but not many people really appreciate the bass that create this awesome sound...
The most ear-pleasing guitar tones I've ever heard. Slash is so expressive with the way he plays. He and Axl are an incredible songwriting duo.
This is a serously underrated song.
One of their best songs if not the best. This song, musically, is an absolute masterpiece. There is so much going on. They even talk about how difficult this song is to play live. Nothing but talent on every instrument not to mention the vocals and writing.
Axl jumping off the ship is so poetic. It was really him. Long live GNR
This is an absolute masterpiece..my favourite Guns song..underrated i feel
Slash, one of the greatest to ever do it..great song
I remember my boyfriend in 1987 introducing me to GNR before anyone had really heard of them. I've always been a fan, and always will be. We would blare Appetite For Destruction while we would close up at McDonald's and just scream every song.

I recommend "Civil war,you could be mine, nighttrain,paradise city"
My very favorite GnR song. So glad you checked it out.
Some of the stuff on Use your Illusion 1 and 2 is just awesome.....brings back great memories for me
Me too. Great times back then
A brilliant masterpiece. Timeless.
That last "I never wanted it to die" lyric still..... to this very day.....chokes me up.....
Highest selling Debut Album of all time,
That same Album one of thr best albums of all time.
Killed off Hair metal
Ruled the world as the biggest band for 7 years
One of the greatest Front men of all time, and great vocals
Coolest Guitar player ever
But one thing thats not thought about is there Music Video package Is easily the greatest of all time. More Guns please
guys time to try slash's solo project --- Slash featuring Myles Kennedy and the Conspirators- start with Anastasia. You will open up a whole new world you are so far missing out on, You do not need to limit yourselves to just GNR, even though they are great no doubt
This video was released 30 years ago with a budget of $4 million. Video budgets at that time were crazy.
Another great song by Guns n Roses is Yesterday .
Between this and coma are my favourite guns n roses song
I wish they would react to Coma!
Epic! Somehow it is an overlooked gem in their catalog. The "sequel" to November Rain. Great song!
You should do "Civil War" next.. another great GnR song !!
Such an amazing song!! You can't go wrong with them. Amber has to do November Rain. I highly recommend Coma, So Fine or Mr. Brownstone.
Love “Dancin with Mr. Brownstone”
Coma!!!
Slash is a GOD
This and "Coma" were the highlights of the double album Illusions.
Amber - you're gonna love, love love November Rain!!!!!! ❤❤❤❤
GnR doesn’t get enough credit for their beauty and artistic moments. Great band
This is probably my favorite Guns n' Roses song.
My favorite song of my favorite GnR album
Another long & epic song from them is "Civil War".
Should have done The Guns N' Roses Video Trilogy in one day for continuity.
That second solo is one of the reasons I've been playing guitar since.

Spent many a night jamming to this on the jukebox at my watering hole

that piano solo is my favorite of all time
IMO this is Guns n roses best song. Its pretty much perfect. Amazing vocals, amazing lyrics, guitars are beautiful as well as the piano melody
"with all the changing seasons of my life, maybe I'll get it right next time" "now that you've been broken down, got you're head out of the clouds ,back down on the ground, you don't walk so proud, you don't talk so proud any more!!!!" Those words cut me so hard because they are a reflection of me!

This is GnR at their absolute best.
Something isnt right with Axl here and he absolutely delivers. Thanks for checking out this song. You two are fun to watch and listen to!

This is Guns N' Roses true masterpiece!
This was great craftsmanship
Classic Badass G n R❤
I believe this song/video is like part of a trilogy with November Rain and Don't Cry
I would love to see Amber resct to November Rain!
They were a short lived band but absolutely tremendous!
Short lived? They had a good 25 years!
Still going.
Agree .. came here to say just that. J show Amber November Rain. Please post her reactions. 👍🏼
How many bands are going on almost 40 years? Short lived?
@D Tran they were broken up for many years and only a few albums.
Axl then continued GNR with a completely different band lineup.
For me those years it's no longer GNR to me.
They've gotten back together briefly but overall short-lived compared to many others that have been together for decades.
My fav song guns n roses , seen them live in Paris on the use your illusions tour , and this was epic live
One of my favorites. Very underrated. Not played on the radio when it came out, there were to many other hits from Use Your Illusions I & II
My absolute favorite song of all time! Such a beautiful song! Thanks for sharing
Look when Axl locked the door. Manual locks are gone.
Guys, remember EXTREME? They had that song "More than Words"? They have a new album out. The guitar is on fire. Check out "Rise", "Banshee" or "Rebel".
My favorite GNR song, bar none. A masterpiece.
Yes yes yes you guys be coming through with the banger reactions
Wow, I really do love all of y'alls reactions but especially your Guns N' Roses reactions!! Guns N' Roses has always been my all time favorite rock band!!!! I would love to see your reaction to the first song of the GNR Trilogy "Don't Cry"
Absolutely My fave GNR tune. Simply freaking epic. And Slashes guitar is TWO solos! What a freakin' tune!
Seeing the ROXY sign made me miss when we played there.
one of the greatest songs ever written. first song i ever heard from them in the early 90's and have loved it ever since
Just imagine seeing GnR on the Illusions tour in 91. With Soundgarden opening! Yup. I was there at MSG. Amazing how Illusions I, & Illusions II were oth fantastic, but SOOO different at the same time.
Finallly!!!!! I’m glad so many people are hearing a lot now. This is up there in all genres. Great reaction
WOW!! Deep cut -- Estranged is my fave off that album!!
I love GnR saw them last year. And this song is my absolute favourite.
I have listened to this song may be 1000 times. And there are 1000 different feelings from this song permanently registered in my heart.
going to see Guns N Roses live, front row in San Antonio in September... excited!
Best song on Use Your Illusion I&II. Saw them in 1992 perform this, it was THE show stopper.
Amber needs to experience "November Rain".
This song, THIS SONG... so no nobody ever told me baby, how it was gonna be...
Favorite of all time. Lucky you, who get to hear this masterpiece for the first time. I got a drums set just to learn this one. I've scrapped about 7 copies of UYI-2 CD's for listening to it about 10 000 times(for each CD).
Great to watch your face's reaction to this. And love your Pink Floyd t-shirt too. Welcome Floydian.
